Another day, another in-flight video goes viral. This time, a seemingly peaceful journey took a dramatic turn when a group of women were confronted for speaking loudly mid-air. The incident occurred on an AirAsia flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Chengdu, China. In the now-viral video circulating on social media, a full-blown brawl unfolds during the four-hour flight.

The altercation began when a male passenger seated behind the group of women asked them to lower their voices, clearly frustrated by their loud conversation. According to fellow passengers, the group continued chatting loudly even after the cabin lights were dimmed. Tensions escalated when the man allegedly called them “stupid” and told them to “shut up.”

The comment instantly triggered one of the women, who stood up on her seat, climbed over, and punched the man. Another woman quickly joined in, repeatedly hitting him as he tried to shield himself behind the food tray. What started as a verbal exchange quickly spiralled into chaos, with multiple passengers getting involved in the mid-air scuffle.

AirAsia Crew Stepped In To Stop The Fight

The cabin crew quickly jumped into action, trying to pull the people involved in the fight away. At one point, a female crew member even shouted at the passengers, asking people to return to their seats as she tried to regain control of the situation. Thankfully, the crew was able to calm down the passengers, and the rest of the flight continued without a hitch. Although the fight appeared intense, it did not require an emergency landing, and no one needed medical assistance upon landing. No arrests were made either.

As quoted by NDTV, the person who recorded the video said, “We were sitting behind the row of women and listened to the quarrel.” The person shared that the women were “loudly” chatting even after the lights were turned off. “The frontman asked them to be silent because he wanted to sleep. The mother of one of the women then joined in. The friends then went up to attack the man. Two women were fighting the male passenger,” added the co-passenger. Currently, officials at the Airport Public Security Bureau of the Sichuan Provincial Public Security Department are reportedly looking into the matter.

AirAsia’s Statement After The Incident

Following the incident, AirAsia issued an official statement highlighting how its crew handled the situation professionally, adhering to proper protocols. They shared that the incident did not impact flight operations, but they urged passengers to be respectful towards each other during flights.
